Denis Villeneuve KnewBlade Runner 2049Could Be The End Of His Career
Denis Villeneuveknew that makingBlade Runner 2049could very well be career suicide for him. He was aware of the fact that it could be easily considered an artistic crime and yet he went forward with the idea and made the movie anyways. He admitted to thinking of it as a miracle that his career was still an ongoing success even after the movie’s conflicting reviews.
“Just the fact that I’m still here making movies, for me…at least I wasn’t banned from the filmmaker community. It was a dangerous game.”
He stated that he was surprised as to how he still was able to direct and film movies without any consequences after he made the sequel. The movie ended up making less than half of what the original budget had been. The box office revenue forBlade Runner 2049had been of mere $100 Million while the total budget had been around $300 Million. The movie though is still regarded by those who liked it, saying that the pacing was perfect. Unfortunately, the box office could not make up the revenue that the fans’ responses would make one believe.
